We are after reporting capabilities to capture granular detail on activity within Teams.

We would like to have data capturing:
1. Number of users enabled
2. Number of daily active unique users
3. Breakdown of devices uniquely used
4. Number of teams created
5. Number of teams deleted
6. How many instant messages sent overall in the Chat
7. How many calls made in Teams
8. Number of files shared in channels
9. How many combined ‘likes’ have been made over a period of time

Thank you so much for your support of the product. This request was particularly helpful and we appreciate your engagement in the surveys, comments and forum to help us design this feature. Please continue to submit ideas!

For this item, we’re making great progress. It has now entered TAP validation with a small group of tenants. Will let you know how that goes!

The storage metrics (storage utilization, quota) can be found on any site collection under Site Collection Administration. However, only the Site Collection admins can view them; there seems to be no feature available to make these metrics visible for any of the 'plain' Team's users.

Please make the above-mentioned storage metrics available at least to the Team owners, without requiring admin rights!

Reason for this uservoice: We had several cases where Team members and owners were caught by surprise with a sudden "Storage limit reached" notification.

In Skype for Business 'on-premise' we have the lcsCDR database in the monitor server commonly used for 'Call Accounting' style reporting such as on-billing, internal cost assignment, compliance auditing and management reporting.

So far in O365 SfB and Teams we have not seen access to CDR, are there any hints regarding this or is it being planned for please?

With the Teams window open I was using Alt-tab to switch between a word doc and Teams, but Teams isn't in the display of open windows when using Alt-tab. Another colleagues laptop does the same thing. Windows build is Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.309]

It would be good to have a quick and easy way for Admins and more importantly owners of Teams to quickly see anyone that is not really making use of the Team or contributing to it and therefore make an informed decision as to whether or not to remove them.

Currently non-licensed MS Teams admins such a service admin or a global admin gets an “access denied” message when using the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module. (Version 0.9.5) There should not be a license check to use this module as it is a common pattern to have non-lincensed privileged / admin accounts for administrative duties in an organization.

It would be great if we could obtain the report data such as Channel messages, Chat messages, Calls and Meetings via PowerShell. Though we can see the data from Microsoft 365 admin center > Reports > Usage > Microsoft Teams user activity.

I have a Group Policy setting configured to Deny Read/Write access to USB drives on all computers. It is applied to the correct OU's, it is not filtered out, and I can see via RSOP & gpresult that this setting is correctly applied to the PCs.

However, some Windows 10 PC's do not apply this setting and USB devices can still be accessed regardless of what the GPO settings are.

Recently, somebody responded to a post I had made on another site and he was able to identify the issue.

As it turns out, the service, Portable Device Enumerator Service, is not installed on Windows 10 Pro N by default. It is installed as part of the standalone Media Feature Pack that installs Windows Media Player. Even the description of this service states:

"Enforces group policy for removable mass-storage devices. Enables applications such as Windows Media Player and Image Import Wizard to transfer and synchronize content using removable mass-storage devices."

I have deployed Windows 10 Pro N to our PC's because it is a cleaner version of W10 without Pandora, game ads, and other items that aren't necessary on a business PC.

I was able to verify this issue by opening a USB drive on a Windows 10 Pro N v1709 PC that has the GPO settings correctly applied to block USB access. I then installed the Media Feature Pack, rebooted the PC, tried the USB drive again, and it was successfully blocked.

Microsoft needs to update the USB services on Windows 10 Pro N PC's so Group Policy will successfully block USB drives on any version of Windows 10 regardless if that PC has Windows Media Player installed or not. Or at the very least, have the Portable Device Enumerator Service installed on all versions of Windows 10 by default. Each Feature update requires a different Media Feature Pack to re-install Windows Media Player and the service mentioned above.

If this service is required to enforce Group Policies, why is it not included in every version of Windows 10?

This is a severe security issue for a financial institution. It is not feasible to re-install Windows Media Player on every computer after each bi-annual feature update. Currently, every time we push a feature update to our PC's it will break our USB access restrictions opening security risks for both our business and our customers.

I need to ensure this Group Policy Object is working 100% of the time.

I as advised to post this issue on this thread from my Technet post on the same issue.

In order for people to view Teams reports, currently you have to be a Team Service Admin. Please add the ability to view reports as a separate role so viewing reports can be delegated to other people other than Teams Service Admins. Alternatively, add viewing reports to the existing Teams Service Support Specialist role.

Please add an option to the "New-TeamChannel" and "Sew-TeamChannel" to enable us setting a specific or a new channel as a favourite for the entire team.

This is extremely important to us; We're planning to move from an open source solution to Microsoft Teams for our students (approx. 400 teachers and 5000 students here). Setting channel favourites seems silly, but is absolutely necessary for us. Not having the possibility to set channel favourites could be a reason NOT to move to Microsoft Teams.

Please add this feature as soon as possible; The rollout should start within 4.5 weeks.

We can check Teams usage on Microsoft Teams admin center but can’t review the last activity date or what activity has been done. Because I want to know more detailed information for activities in Teams, so I would like you to implement a feature to obtain the date for the last activity and what activity has been done.

The ability to modify call forwarding and/or call delegation as (Teams/M365) admin via Admin Center and/or PowerShell. E.g. if a user becomes unavailable due to sickness or else it's helpful to have this ability. It is intended to manage these user settings under certain circumstances which not allow the user to do this by him/herself as usually.
